Huntington Ingalls Industries said Jason Ward is the new vice president of its Newport News Shipbuilding segment’s Columbia-class submarine construction program and that Dave Bolcar, who was previously vice president of all of the segment’s submarine construction, is now vice president of the Virginia-class submarine construction program.
Ward was previously director of Columbia-class construction.
Separately, U.S. Navy Rear Adm. David Goggins succeeded Rear Adm. Michael Jabaley as Program Executive officer (PEO) for Submarines during an Aug. 17 ceremony at the Washington Navy Yard.
The PEO is responsible for developing, acquiring, and modernizing the Navy’s undersea and submarine systems.
Previously, Goggins was program director of the Columbia-class submarine program office (PMS-397) since June 2015. Earlier, from 2012 to 2015, he served as the Virginia-class submarine program manager after Jabaley left the position to move to PEO Submarines. Jabaley is retiring after 34 years of service.
